Currently it claims to be collected in the main process, but telemetry indicates it is only recorded in the content process.

This can cause confusion:

BTW, it looks like there are a number of pdf.js probes that are content only, but marked as both.

Out of curiosity, why do we distinguish between content/main?

Oh! If you could file a follow-up bug for those that would be good.

:chutten may be able to say more, but my understanding is that some probes genuinely are accumulated in both the content and main process, and it's useful to distinguish them when doing analysis.
